Shorea spp. is the botanical name for the Borneo tallow nut oil tree. Borneo tallow nut oil, also known as Sal nut oil, is derived from the fruit of the genus Shorea and is named after Governor General of the East India Company, Sir John Shore. The Borneo tallow tree is a tall tree that can reach heights of 80 to 90 metres. Borneo tallow nut oil trees are found in the forests of Northern India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, and are native to South East Asia. The fruit of the Borneo tallow nut oil contains an oil-bearing kernel with a typical fat content of 45–70%. Fatty acids can be found in Borneo tallow nut oil.
Borneo tallow nut oil is usually extracted from fruits that are boiled in a pan and then placed in a rattan bag between two logs of wood, which are then squeezed together. The oil is collected and stored in bamboo cylinders. Borneo tallow nut oil and solvent extraction with hexane are used for industrial purposes. Tallow nut oil from Borneo is purified and bleached. Borneo tallow nut oil contains tannic acid after extraction and can be used as animal feed.
Tallow Nut Oil Market Dynamics in Borneo
Stearic acid is the most important component of Borneo tallow nut oil; it makes up around 43% of the oil and is used primarily as a thickening agent in soaps and candles. Borneo tallow nut oil is commonly used as a cocoa butter substitute and as a component of candles and soaps. A driving factor for Borneo tallow nut oil could be the growing demand for organic additives in fast-moving consumer goods.
Candles, cosmetics, and other medicines are made with Borneo tallow nut oil. In the near future, the multipurpose use of Borneo tallow nut oil could be a demand driver.
The Borneo tallow nut oil tree does not begin to bear fruit until it is 20–25 years old, and the Borneo tallow nut oil fruit appears every five years on average. The fruits of the Borneo tallow nut oil are pollinated by insects and do not flower for several years. This natural phenomenon of the Borneo tallow nut oil tree could be a major stumbling block for the market for Borneo tallow nut oil.
The market for Borneo tallow nut oil is expected to grow in the coming years.
North America, Latin America, Europe, APEJ, Japan, and MEA are the six regions where Borneo tallow nut oil can be found.
Because of the numerous uses of Borneo tallow nut oil and its benefits due to its high fatty acid content, North America is expected to see a rise in demand for Borneo tallow nut oil.
Europe is also expected to support the growing demand for Borneo tallow nut oil, which is used as a cocoa butter substitute in the confectionary industry, particularly in the manufacture of chocolate.
During the forecast period, Latin America and Europe are expected to maintain their market share in the Borneo tallow nut oil market.
